The Amy Family; An Acadian Tree

The Amy family of Southern Louisiana, encompasses many of the state's earliest settlers, with roots reaching Nova Scotia, France and Germany. I have well over 1000 names and a few lines go back to my 11th great-grandparent. If you have ancestory in Louisiana's Bayou Teche region (New Iberia, St. Martinville, Oppelousas, Grand Coteau...), we are probably related.
For the sake of brevety, I will begin with my third great-grandfather, Gilbert Amy. Gilbert was from Nasiguy (or Nasiny), France, born about 1745, of Jean Paul Amy and Elizabeth Gaillerdet. (Some records show him to be from the province of Champagne, though his death record claims that he was from Bouboucois Province or Bourbonnais Province. My father always claimed that the family came from Champagne, France. In the birth record of his son, Jacques, he is recorded as being Gilbert L'Amy of La Bute. He may also have been named Paul Gilbert).
How Gilbert Amy came to live in Louisiana isn't yet known, but on May 8, 1798, he was married to Josephine Prevost, in St. Martinville, Louisiana. He was a merchant and lived near his dry-goods store, located in the town of St. Martinville, near the Catholic Church, on Bayou Teche.
On the 8th of May, 1798, Gilbert Married Josephine Prevost. One of at least nine children of Gilbert Amy and Josephine Provost, was Gilbert (II) Amy (he too was possibly known as Paul Gilbert Amy).
Gilbert (II) Amy married Elizabeth Landry, his stepsister of five months on November 16, 1824, and they had at least eleven children. One of which was my great-grandfather, Antoine Amy (I have extensive Confederate war records for Antoine).
Six years after the war, in 1871, Antoine Amy married Philomane Zulme Hacker, the youngest daughter of Dr. Jean Baptiste Hacker and Emilie Leocade Meyer. They had six surviving children, all girls except for a son, Gaston, born on November 3, 1887.
Gaston married Marie Idolie Lafontaine, known as "Lilly" in October, 1917. Gaston and Lilly lived with Lilly's parents, Gaston Lafontaine and Marie Lydia Brousard, in Loreauville, Louisiana.
My father, Julius Amy, was the first born son of Gaston Amy and Marie Idolie "Lilly" Lafontaine. He moved to Port Arthur, Texas in 1937 and joined the US Navy for the duration of WWII.
In 1946, Jules met my mother, Dorothy Faul. She and her family had deep roots in St. Landry’s Parish, Louisiana; particularly, Church Point. However, Dorothy was living in Port Arthur, Texas when they met. They married on June 27, 1950, and raised four children; Debbie, Kerney, Pooch and Tod, between 1952 and 1964.
I am Pooch Amy, the second and middle son of Julius Amy and Dorothy Faul. The first Amy generation born of Louisiana to Texas soil. I married my best friend of fourteen years, Mare’ Ellen Guirey, on January 1, 1999. We are the proud parents of two daughters, Julia S. "Scout", and Joelle Echo Amy; truly God’s gift.
There is so much more. I welcome your inquisitions.
